Beppe Iachini insists “there’s always tension at Palermo” as a 1-0 victory over Chievo saved him from the sack.

Alberto Gilardino got the decisive goal after President Maurizio Zamparini warned the Coach was hanging by a thread.

“There’s always tension at Palermo,” shrugged Iachini on Sky Sport Italia.

“The important thing is knowing how to handle it, face it and read the situation. The lads were a little anxious in the first half, but shook that off after the restart.

“We must remain united and compact. We have many young players in the squad who should be allowed to grow some confidence.

“The President makes certain statements to fire up the team and the lads responded well. It is my job to reassure the squad and in this sense we continued the growth process today.”

Achraf Lazaar was surprisingly substituted in the first half and it wasn’t due to an injury.

“Lazaar was one of those who was suffering excessive tension. He made a few too many errors and allowed our opponents in two or three times. He was extremely tense going into the game.”
